Linguistic Tree Constructor is a free program for building linguistic syntax trees from text. Linguistic Tree Constructor lets the user build the tree in a point-and-click fashion.

The program does no analysis on its own -- the user is completely free to draw the tree however he or she wishes. However, the program makes sure that the tree is a tree and not some other kind of graph.

Syntactic theories supported

Three "flavors" of trees are supported:

"Generic" syntax trees,
X-Bar syntax trees
RRG (Role and Reference Grammar) syntax trees (the LSC and the LSNP)

Labeling of nodes

The program supports adding "labels" to nodes. These labels are userdefinable, and can be used for such things as:
Rhetorical Structure Theory analyses
Other discourse-level analyses
RRG operator-projection analyses
Subject-Object-Predicate analyses

Here are some key features of "Linguistic Tree Constructor":
Draw syntax trees using point-and-click
Both tree-view and brackets-view are supported
Supports up to five interlinear lines at word-level
Interlinear lines can be switched on and off individually
